“At a moment of rising global uncertainty, Canada must reinforce its economic security and safeguard its sovereignty by investing in our capabilities. By advancing space launch activities here at home and implementing our new Defence Industrial Strategy, the government is opening the door to emerging opportunities for Canadian innovators and businesses, creating high quality jobs that strengthen our economy, and enhancing Canada’s security,” said Mélanie Joly, minister of industry and minister responsible for Canada economic development for Quebec regions. “With global demand for space launch services at record levels, Canada is stepping up to meet this demand and ensuring Canadians benefit and lead the growth of this strategic sector.”
